Chapter 150 Supersonic and Jazz(1/2)

(The third update has arrived, and there is another update today, but it may be late. If you can't wait, don't wait)

"The Jazz have been very disturbing recently. Have you read the newspaper this morning? It's so arrogant. I don't take us seriously anymore. What wins and losses are only depends on themselves. Whether they win or not in this game depends on their mood!"

"Haha, Kendall, this is not the most arrogant one. The Jazz guy doesn't even take Barkley seriously. It seems that he is already invincible in the world. Didn't he just win a game? And why didn't I think Barkley lost in the last game? At least, the two of them are almost the same no matter how they look at it."

"By the way, Sean, have you noticed that Lin Han's inside back turn skill is very similar to your back turn?"

"When you say that, I really feel that way. No wonder I felt so familiar when I watched the game yesterday? It turned out to be Sean's unique skill. By the way, Sean, how did you teach your unique skill to that kid?"

On Tuesday, January 11, 1994, Seattle, today is the day when the Seattle Supersonics plays against the Jazz at home. Because the Jazz defeated the Suns away yesterday, the team has achieved 33 consecutive victories. In this case, this game with the Supersonics is the Jazz's surpassing battle. Similarly, for the Supersonics, this game is their final battle, ending the Jazz's long-term victory.

This team has always been the title of Jazz Killer in the past two years, and last season even swept the Jazz out of the playoffs in the first round. This made the Jazz team extremely ashamed. Although the Supersonics lost the first match between the two teams this season, the game was very anxious. If Lin Han had not consumed his character in that game, facing Payton, who had just learned the defensive skills of Crazy Dance, and scored continuously at the last moment, the Jazz would have lost that game.

Now, the two teams are confronting each other again, which naturally makes the Supersonic players feel that the opportunity to revenge has come.

However, what made these Supersonic players a little dissatisfied was that this morning, almost all the public opinion outside was swearing Lin Han and the Jazz. They almost ignored them at all, which made this team, currently 28 wins and 4 losses and ranked second in the league, very unhappy.

Their record is second in the league, although it is not as good as the Jazz's 33 consecutive wins. However, the Supersonic players never think that their strength is not as good as their opponents. And they are also an opponent who fought with the Suns for a fierce battle.

"Don't look at me, I don't know why he knows my skills. Maybe that's not my skills. Besides, most NBA players turn around the same back, but they just look a little similar. I have nothing to do with him."

"Haha, this is not just the same. The extraordinary way of turning the back, the dribbling posture and the starting posture. Even the swing of the left hand is similar. Sean, are you lying? Do you think we are as stupid as you."

"I said, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me, Ricky, are you trying to fight? I'll let you have one hand!"

To be honest, at this time, in the Supersonic training hall, facing the extremely bad eyes of his teammates, Sean Kemp was really a little crying. The entire team watched the Suns and Jazz match yesterday. There was no way. The influence of this game was too great. When he saw Lin Han's back turned around and breaking through the skills without any fighting back, let alone these teammates suspected it, even he himself was in a trance.

Just as Ricky Pierce said, the back-turning skill that Lin Han used was almost exactly the same as his in posture, and even faster than his in speed. Of course, this was related to Lin Han's shorter height.

But no matter what, if Lin Han hadn't used it, Sean Kemp really felt that the guy who beat Barkley on the court was not Lin Han, but himself.

Therefore, in the face of his teammates' suspicion, he couldn't argue because he didn't know how to explain, because he felt that it was wrong no matter how he explained it.

"Okay, don't talk about Sean anymore. Even if Lin Han's back turns are really exactly the same as Sean's, we can't say what Lin Han has to do with Sean. Isn't that guy's back turn and jump shot the jump shot from behind still the same as Jordan's?"

When Dorian Lin Han turned his back and leaned back and jumped, Gary Payton gritted his teeth. In the last game against the Jazz, he was vomited by Lin Han's move.

So, after Payton finished speaking, other supersonic players let Kemp go, but from this, we can also see that Lin Han is really not so popular in the NBA now. At least, most players in the league don’t like such a rookie.

"By the way, Gary, your defense is already well done now, it depends on you this game."

"Don't worry, I won't give him any arrogance in this game!"

When talking about his defensive skills, Gary Payton's resentment disappeared for a moment, and only pride was left on his face. Thanks to Lin Han, he could not have comprehended Crazy Lunwu without Lin Han. In the last time he fought, he had just comprehended Crazy Lunwu and was not very skillful, so he was defeated by Lin Han.

Now, he thinks that his defense is higher than in the last game, and it is absolutely impossible to give Lin Han any chance!

Gary Payton has such confidence, because in his opinion, even if he faces Jordan immediately, he will not be afraid.

Of course, at this time, in the Supersonic training hall, the Supersonic players were thinking about how to deal with Lin Han and the Jazz. At this time, in the hotel where the Jazz stayed, the Jazz players had just gotten up.

Yesterday's game was so tiring, or the continuous back-to-back in recent times was so tiring. Although they had been resting for a while, the fatigue on their faces could be clearly seen, especially the two team's leading players Stockton and Malone had a little tired face.

That is, Lin Han, after this guy got up, there was nothing else except for a little dark circles. As for how dark circles came about, he naturally couldn't sleep last night.

"Lin, you guy didn't sneak out sneakily again last night, right?"

In the hotel restaurant, the Jazz players looked surprised when they watched Lin Han staring at a dark circle. This kid's demand was really strong. He played such a game last night and there was still time to do these things at night.

"Get out. I'm not interested in you"

Looking at Ma Long who ran over and touched him, Lin Han kicked him out directly. At the same time, Ma Long also fell to the table on the side in an exaggerated manner and sat down. Seeing the funny performances of the two, the other Jazz players in the restaurant laughed.

These two funny guys are the Jazz's pistachios.

However, it can be seen that today's competition with Supersonics is a game to create history. But everyone's emotions are still very relaxed. After all, even after defeating the Suns, even if they are not able to defeat Supersonics again to create history, it is worth it for them, and it is really worth it.

Therefore, although these Jazz players really want to win another game, their desire for victory may not be as good as when they were with the Suns due to physical or other reasons.

However, they have all reached this point. Even if the Jazz players really declined a bit in their desire for victory, they would not really fall to being able to accept losing at will. After all, this situation is difficult to happen once in a lifetime.

"There are so many people today, it seems that they should be full."

"That's right, this game was a game where the Jazz won 34 consecutive victories. I heard that many Jazz fans rushed from Utah, how could they be unhappy?"

"Yes, Jazz fans are so crazy. It would be great if our Supersonic fans could be so crazy. Salt Lake City is also a small city, but the Salt Lake City market is really much better than our Seattle."

"That's right, you said our team's performance in recent seasons has been excellent enough, right? Even if it's not bad compared to when he won the championship, why can't the market rise? If this continues, I think our team will move away sooner or later."

"Well, I heard that NBA has been considering adding teams. In the future, NBA teams will definitely have more competition, and NBA business value will become greater and greater. I am afraid that a team will lose money in a bad place in the football market."

"Hey, no matter what, let's take a look at this game first. The most champion figure in the West this season is the Jazz and our Supersonics. You can see a lot of things in this game. I really look forward to the showdown between Sean and Malone and Gary and Lin Han."

"So too. Gary's defense is against Lin Han's offense, so I was excited. I heard that at the press conference before the game, Jazz's head coach Jerry Sloan said that this game will not allow Lin Han to play power forward again, but will return to the shooting guard."

"I hope these two people can stage an ultimate battle of offense and defense!"

On January 11, 1994, at 9 o'clock in the evening, the Seattle Supersonics home key arena. At this time, the entire player was packed. Even in an area on the court, many fans wearing Jazz jerseys could be seen here.

Therefore, when Lin Han and the Jazz came out of the player's passage, they could hear the scattered cheering and cheering.

Although the Jazz and the Supersonics had a great grudge before, for some reason, as the two teams in the Chinese and Western Conferences, there was no such a mortal enemy atmosphere. Therefore, when Lin Han and the Jazz appeared, the Supersonics' home fans did not insult or insult them like those of the Suns fans, which surprised Lin Han.

After all, he is really ready to face another provocation in this game.

Of course, although the Supersonic fans have no interest in home abuse and crazy booing the Jazz, when their home team players appeared, there were extremely strong applause and cheers on the scene. It can be seen that these Supersonic teams are still very supportive of this team.

When Gary Payton appeared, the supersonics point guard looked directly at Lin Han after saying hello to his teammates and the audience at the scene.

At this time, the Jazz players and Lin Han who had been watching the supersonics appearance ceremony on the bench could naturally feel Gary Payton's gaze. The murderous aura in that look was no worse than when Barkley looked at Lin Han in the last game.

It is conceivable how unwilling to lose to Lin Han in the last game. This newly emerging "glove" in the league is. If Barkley had been taken off by Lin Han's pants, Gary Payton had been attacked by Lin Han's eye-blocking style of play.

"Hahaha, Lin, this game seems difficult to play. Gary Payton's defense has been very cruel in recent times. Many people have said that he is the best defender in the league."

"Carl. You'd better care about yourself first, your opponent is Sean Camp."

At this time, Gary Payton looked at Lin Han with bad eyes, and Karl Malone found it very interesting. However, after Lin Han mentioned Sean Camp, the jazz leader who originally thought it was very interesting immediately became timid.

I have to say that although Sean Kamp is very young, this high school rookie is the youngest player in NBA history before Lin Han entered NBA. He entered NBA at the age of 19. Although this guy is young, his great achievements in NBA are simply moving or howling. Especially in the past two seasons, almost most of the big centers or huge insiders in the league will feel the same way when they hear this guy's name.

This is not because of his lightning-like back turn and a dunk that can fly in the air like a fold, but the guy's almost omnipresent ability to assist in the blocking of shots and his sudden stealing ability.

Think about it, what kind of scene will a player be if he can average two steals and blocks per game in a single season?

Sean Camp's single defense ability is really not very good. As a typical spring man, he is easily deceived and easily committed fouls. But no matter how many shortcomings he has, just because his physical fitness is placed there, not many people can ignore him.

Not to mention that Malone was a little frustrated when she saw this guy, even Olajuwon, the number one center, who has always been known for her physical fitness, was frustrated when she saw this guy.

Therefore, after playing back the shooting guard in this game, Malone will face his mortal enemy or nemesis.

"The starting players of the two teams have come out. On the Jazz side, Lin Han can no longer appear in the starting power forward position. In this game, the Jazz's starting lineup is center Aaron Williams, power forward is Karl Malone, small forward is Brian Russell, shooting guard is Lin Han, and point guard is Stockton. This is their starting lineup before playing against the Suns. It seems that Spencer has lost his position in the Jazz."

"The Supersonics have not changed much. The center is Sam Perkins, the power forward is Sean Kemp, the small forward is Schramf, the shooting guard is Kendalgill, and the organization guard is Gary Payton."

"Larry, Linhan is back at the shooting guard again in this game. What kind of consideration do you think Jerry Sloan is doing?"

In the commentator's sidelines, this game was not a national live event, but because of the Jazz's super record, ABC had to temporarily adjust it to a national live broadcast, so Collins and Larry Bird still appeared on the sidelines.

"It should be that the Supersonics do not have an inside line that can have strong offensive ability like Barkley. Sam Perkins's outside shooting is excellent. Although Aaron Williams is not tall, he is a very hard-working player. Just keep chasing Perkins hard. Although Sean Kamp's offense is violent, he does not have the extremely autonomous and capable of slashing the opponent's inside line. If Lin Han is putting Lin Han in the inside line, it will be a waste. Moreover, Sean Kamp is not Barkley. Lin Han may be useful to face Barkley, but may not be useful to face Sean Kamp."

"So, for the Jazz, the Supersonics' inside line is actually not able to beat them even if they don't make too many adjustments. The key is the outside line. The Supersonics' outside defense is excellent. Whether it is Gary Payton or Kendalgill, the defense and offense of these two are excellent. They are one of the best outside players in the league with balanced offense and defense. No one else in the Jazz can match him except Stockton and Lin Han. If Lin Han doesn't have to help Stockton in the outside line, the Jazz will really have no chance to play in this game."

"The Jazz are such a team now. Because there is a shortage of people in the inside and outside, we should like Lin Han in the future and face different opponents often. We will make many different adjustments."

Although Larry Bird is not the head coach, since this guy accepted the invitation from ABC to become a commentator, his understanding of tactics was so fast that former Bulls head coach Collins was unparalleled. So, when Larry Bird just expressed his opinion, Collins on the side was stunned.

At this time, the warm-up of the two teams on the court was over. When the players of the two teams stood in their respective designated positions, the referee Javi also threw the basketball in his hand into the air.

As for the jump ball between Aron Williams and Sean Kamp this time, neither Lin Han nor other Jazz players had any expectations. In fact, when Javi threw the basketball into the air, Sean Kamp rushed into the air. At this time, Aron Williams didn't move directly.

It's not that he is as lazy as Spencer, but that he doesn't know how to move at all. Sean Camp's bullet speed is so fast that it's unbelievable.

So. The first attacking player in this game was undoubtedly won by the Supersonics. The Jazz also retreated.

The Supersonics' game style is actually quite similar to the Trail Blazers. Because the Trail Blazers have Adelman and a group of powerful players, the team's offense is very violent and belongs to the physical impact flow. The Supersonics players are also not bad at all in terms of physical fitness and quality. The team's offense is also very impactful, especially Gary Payton and Sean Camp.

In this case, if Jazz retreated a little slower this time, I'm afraid it would be directly caught by Sean Camp and Payton once, and even if Jazz retreated a little fast enough.

After Gary Payton pushed the basketball in his hand to the frontcourt, he handed it directly to Kemp at the free throw line. Kemp almost didn't even look at Malone in front of him. After dribbling through Malone with a big stride, Aron Williams faced the rest of the defense and directly buzzed a folded trolley in the air, while Aron Williams did not even make a foul.

After Sean Camp completed this wonderful aerial dance, the Supersonic fans on the scene also cheered wildly. The Supersonics' opening was extremely aggressive, or extremely violent and domineering, and seemed to announce to the Jazz players that they would win this game.

At this time, Jerry Sloan frowned. He really didn't want the team to sacrifice his state to pursue a thirty-three consecutive win, but in this game, he wanted to win more than his players, because his opponent in this game was George Carl. In Jerry Sloan's heart, no one can lose to this guy.

But now it seems that it is not that easy for the Jazz to win this game. The Supersonics have a strong fighting spirit.

The Supersonics gave the Jazz a warning as soon as they came up, which made the Jazz a little panicked at the beginning, especially when Lin Han, as the team's main attacking player, was entangled by Payton, the Jazz's point guard's home in the next round, and it was extremely difficult to connect the ball. When Malone faced Schramff's defense, he did not choose to break through or play back. Instead, when shooting at the middle distance, the Jazz played very chaotic at the beginning.

In this game, the Supersonics not only played very aggressively on the offensive end. Facing the already tired Jazz, the Supersonics knew that the more proactive he played, the better. On the defensive end, the team also had a strong arrangement, and actually let Schramf defend Malone, which was incredible.

Although Schramf can also play the fourth position and is a player who is not bad, and even this guy can play the center. He is 2.06 meters tall and cannot defend Ma Long, but he has no advantage in terms of speed and strength. Ma Long can completely crush him. However, looking at Sean Kemp, who has been eyeing him, Ma Long actually softened his body on the court.

Just like when Wenbeck faced Lin Han in the first two games, he didn't choose to force himself, but shot!

"Awesome, it's so awesome. George Carl's move is so awesome!"

So when the game started, Collins in the commentary seat watched the Supersonics suppress the Jazz both offensively and defensively, the former Bulls coach was almost crazy.

For a head coach, this excitement is understandable when he sees an extremely strange and effective tactic come out.

"It's really amazing. This not only avoids the problem of Sean Kamp's excessive fouls, but also fully utilizes Sean Kamp's assisted defense ability. I'm afraid this is not just about dealing with Ma Long."

When Collins stood up excitedly, Larry Bird looked at Lin Han who was entangled by Gary Payton on the field, and frowned. Let Sean Kamp become a defensive libero, definitely not just to deal with Malone, but probably a larger part of the reason is to deal with Lin Han.
To be continued...
